Hi there,

I tried to configure our new NeXTstation to work with
one of our networked Apple NTX laser printers.

If I'm printing to this printer it seems to work (lpq says:
printer is ready and printing), but unfortunately the
printerjobs on the printer server (a Sun server, SUn 3/280 SunOS 4.0.3)
do have a size of 0 bytes!!!!
(...it seems to be that something gets lost during the job transfer
NeXT -> Sun).

I used exactly the same printcap file which is properly working
on a Sun client (Sun SPARCstation 1+, SunOS 4.1).

Any ideas or (perhaps) solutions?

Many thanks in advance,
